All That’s Left Today

Republicans spent more time on Benghazi than ALL other major US probes

These people, these rioters, acted like terrorists yet Fox News and Newsmax are labeling them as 'political prisoners'.. treating them like 'victims' and calling them 'patriots'. Patriots don't club people with flagpoles with the American flag on one end, patriots don't spray mace at every police officer in sight..
Republicans, after spending $7million and writing 800 pages on the Benghazi commission and after spending 2 years and 4 months investigating Benghazi -and finding nothing- won't even support a commission to look into what actually happened on January 6th? What is wrong with these people? What is wrong with America?

Trump's crazy talk at Turning Point Rally and Tucker Carlson deserves to be confronted

It was a busy weekend in Trumpworld with the Donald speaking at a Turning Point Rally and among the typical re-litigating the election, he blamed the USA womens soccer teams loss in Tokyo on wokism.. He then explained how if someone robbed Tiffany's jewelry store in NYC how the jewels would be returned.. this is what Trump thinks will happen in the election he lost, that someday the jewels of the presidenvcy will be returned to him and he will be  reinstated as president.. Then Mike Pompeo while in CA to give a speech got into a hands-on prayer service where the pastor said Biden, Pelosi and Harris had 'antichrist' world views..
Then last but not least, Tucker Carlson was confronted in a fly fishing shop in MO.. I think that's fine to confront someone like Tucker and here's why..

Michael Cohen thinks Jared Kushner is co-operating with prosecutors

Jared Kushner has a lot to lose -which along with another conversation Michael Cohen had with Ari Melber where Michael Cohen describes how "they all lied to Congress to protect The Donald"- could provide further speculation that Jared Kushner is cooperating with prosecutors..

Listen to Ben Shapiro whitewash Jan 6th to feel good about being a Republican conservative..

It's not just Benny Shapiro, it's literally legions more that are doing the very same thing- whitewashing the events of January 6th to make themselves feel good about being conservative republicans.. listen to Ben say "it was just a security lapse".. "when was democracy under threat?" none of this mitigates the reality that this was an insurrection that was incredibly close to breaking into the chambers of the House and Senate and dragging elected officials out into the streets..

Trump CFO Weisselberg tries to defend Mercedes perk

Alan Weisselberg, CFO of the Trump organization told prosecutors that the commute to work from Long Island was difficult.. the Mercedes Benz provided by Trump in what prosecutors are calling a part of a $1.7 million dollar tax avoidance scheme made the ride so much smoother, so much more bearable for Weisselberg.. 
What really happened here is that Weisselberg fell hook, line and sinker for a "Trump loyalty trap".. in purportedly accepting these perks and not paying taxes on them Weisselberg allowed himself to become part of the Trump problem. With these perks, Weisselberg became further beholden to Trump giving Trump the ability to do whatever without fear of Weisselberg talking or disagreeing about it. 
Weisselberg isn't the only one either.. prosecutors are evidently looking into the 'arrangement' Trump had with Matthew Calamari as well..

Fox News vaccine passport policy exposes Tucker Carlson as a hypocrite

So, as it turns out, Fox News has a vaccine policy. Big surprise, right? If you do not want to wear a mask at Fox, yo have to upload your proof of vaccination into their 'workday' system. What's remarkable is that almost every night Tucker Carlson rails against the same vaccine passport policy on the air and won't even share with viewers whether or not he has been vaccinated. Why all the secrecy, Tucker? Imagine just how many lives you could save if you were vaccinated and shared that with your viewers! What's more important, making big ratings or saving lives?

Smerconish asks: "WHY won't Trump promote the vaccine?"

Smerconish answers that Trump doesn't to promote the vaccine because Trump doesn't want to alienate his supporters but with Trump, there's never just ONE answer. Trump is complex and although Smerconish is correct, there's more to it than that.. 

To pay for new legislation Biden is depending on an IRS that does its job while Republicans defund it

Every business has to get paid for the services or products they sell.. the government is no different but Republicans don't want to run the government like a business.. by defunding the IRS. Every time Biden produces new legislation Republicans scream "how are you going to pay for it?" then when Biden says he is going to simply enforce the tax law on the books by making corporations and the rich pay their fair share the Republicans scramble to ensure that won't happen. In this episode, I want to examine how that is playing out today, yesterday and over twenty years ago.. let's expose the games they play today so we can make the rich pay their fair share tomorrow.

Trump world: Fox News segment says FBI 'persecuting' Trump fans, pillow guy antics and Sacha Baron Cohen Trumps Roy Moore

In Trump world today Fox News did a segment with Julie Kelly of American Greatness where she pushed the theory that the FBI is purposefully 'persecuting' Trump fans like Robert Morss of PA. Kelly claims that Morss is going to be held in prison for a year until his trial for nothing more than being a Trump fan and trespassing on the Capitol in the January 6th riots. In reality, there's a 28 page affifavit on all the violence Morss engaged in while rioting on the capitol. Fox News along with other operatives are trying to re-write the narrative of January 6th..
Mike Lindell, aka "the pillow guy" is claiming Trump 2021 is a reality because he's seen lots of signs..
Alabama's Roy Moore just had his lawsuit against Sacha Baron Cohen dismissed.. I thought that Roy Moore was supposed to be a smart guy having served on the Alabama Supreme Court?

Trump CPAC Misfit Compendium: the hypocrites and denialists

It really is amazing what Republicans will say at something like CPAC when they are caught up in the spirit of the moment with like-minded denialists and hypocrites. In this Compendium I have clips from Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorne, anti vaxxers celebrating and of course, Donald Trump ranting about everything from windmills to spilling the beans on how he deals with bad polls and at the end the ultimate coping mechanism: "we won"..
